Okay, here is the catch. Nothing is perfect. Without root access, Carbon needs you to install Carbon Desktop on PC. And Carbon Desktop needs adb drivers from your Android device manufacturer. Luckily, most popular manufacturers like Asus, Motorola, Google, Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG and ZTE do provide adb driver (get the drivers here).
